Random hairstory: I remember when I was 10yrs all my friends were getting their hair ralaxed and i wanted mine relaxed too sooo bad. I begged my mum to apply relaxers on my hair for so long and she would always refuse and her reason was that it would damage my hair. I didn't understand it then but now I *THANK GOD* that I never got my hair relaxed. Natural hair all the way!!! 👊👊
Any product and constant heat can be damaging on hair. The trick it no matter what you do to condition the fuck out of it and care for very well. Natural or not Hair is fun and being able to do whatever you want to your own hair is an important part of life. I let my kids do whatever they choose with their hair because hair is a part of their body.
Finally a video that doesn’t go on and on about the deep phylosphical meaning of hair. It’s hair, it’s fun! I’ve always loved my curly hair, and i love to change it up! She looks lovely in every style.
gabrielle.s Refinery29 no it’s not if people want to sensitive and philosophical with their hair let them. What’s it to you. You must be proud of yourself for po poing on how people feel about how people feel about their hair like wtf 🙄
nvm nvm wow someone’s sensitive lol. where did i say they couldn’t? i’m just glad this is a lovely lighthearted video about hair. get your head out of your ass, the world doesn’t revolve around you and your feelings.
You are just so crass.... your initial wording sounded like you were on the offensive. Maybe for you it's not deep, but for a lot of people it is. It's not just one persons feelings. Rude...
DeJa Williams I wasn’t on the offensive, but you seemed to be. I expressed how glad i was that a lighthearted video about hair was made. Refinery agreed. It’s you guys that walked in for no reason and gave your opinion when no one asked. I specifically said “yay no one is being philosophical” and you just HAD to say “well actually,,” and it’s exactly what i was talking about. You see?
I'm actually the opposite. I was natural for my whole life up until last December. I had locs for 13 years and then I combed them out and rocked a fro. I dyed it, and finally I got it relaxed. Hair is hair and honestly this is just one phase in my hair journey. I look forward to my next phase whether that's shaving my head or transitioning who knows what's next?
Seems like my whole life I've stuck with the same old style...I don't know why I've never felt confident or secure enough to change up?..anyway,i really enjoy your vlogs refinery 29
Ryen your hair looks amazing naturally and with the braids, the hairstylist girl is very talented, I loved this video, thank you both and refinery29 too
I resonate with the confidence piece regarding my hair. I had a relaxer from age 2 - 23 and have been natural for a few years now. I had so much insecurity around my relaxed hair because it would break, I had no idea why as YT hair tutorials weren’t a thing back then. Once my friend in college shared with my hair care tutorial on YT I ran with it, saw amazing results and now that I’m natural, I’m so happy with the relationship I’ve developed with my hair.
Omg these women are so beautiful, inside and out. I love how free Ryen feels to express herself with her hair and hearing her perspective of it growing up. Shes so gorgeous and her hair is so beautiful before and after 😍
Wow! that looks amazing! I have straight flimsy black asian hair lol but lately i've become more interested in black women's hairstyles, it's just sooooo different. I love how they embrace their natural hair and find more ways to style it without damaging it.
Ryen reminds me of Quinta from buzzfeed... She's beautiful!!! I watched the jasmine brown episode and I loved it and I love this one too. There's something about the hairstylist's voice that's so relaxing!!
Yeah, it’s like micros but with a sew-in. Usually we’d keep it long. I don’t know about the cut, but the technique of doing micros without pulling your scalp or edges is genius.
1. Is it me or the braided hair look bomb af by itself? The big braid in the middle gives a really badass look. 2. That color looks gorgeous on her! Loving how the blonde pops up with that hairstyle Seriously, this vids give me life!
Nikki The hairstylist placed some hair grease on the back of her hand; that's what she is using to moisturize the hair while braiding. It's an old school trick that my Momma used all the time when she styled my hair. I hope this helps!
Looks really nice!! just out of ignorance: what do you do when it starts growing? do you have to undo it and then do it all over again? or is there a faster method?
Ryen"s hair gallery is phenomenal... Ryen truly has gone through textures colors lengths✨✨ i love💗 that. Her hair color compliments her tone as well complextion beautiful.. Im going natural now and love it.. I dont miss relaxers 😀. Im ready to color though
Am i the only one who didn't like the style. But the stylist did her thing!
Omg Im so glad I wasn't the only one. I absolutely hated it. Dope stylist though. But the style itself was really stinky.
It's giving me mop vibes
@@Elubial 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree, sis. The cornrows were dope, though. I would've stopped there.
No

Mom
As long as you're not one of those naturals that shame others for relaxing.
@@ChelseaKMusee No I'm not. Everyone is free to do as they please 😊
I mean I'm white, so I know practically nothing about her hair, but DAMN IT LOOKS GOOD
I don't know much about black hairstyles, on account of being white as fuck, but this is so fucking cool!!!
+raystew Glad you got something out of it!! :)

+HeyJay doesn't it? We love her new do

ruby Margarita, Beyoncéhas already had this hairstyle while in Destiny's child!
(I think it was on the "bills, bills, bills" video, can't remember!)
@@BBaaaaa It was in say my name
Beyonce a-la Destiny's Child vibes.

The 90s inspired style really suits her! 👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏
This style/ length for your face shape is so flattering!! I love how you view hairstyles as an expression of yourself. Keep doing you!
She has not had a single bad hair style! Every single one is stunning!
What's a hairstyle or hair color you've been wanting to try? Let us know in the comments! :)
Refinery29 I like to dye it different colors
Seems like my whole life I've stuck with the same old style...I don't know why I've never felt confident or secure enough to change up?..anyway,i really enjoy your vlogs refinery 29
+stacecollins Thanks for hanging with us!!
Deadlocks with marley hair , not a crochet 😉
My mum always lets me exprimenr but because of school I can’t dye it but I would dye it either a light brown or pink
Wow that bob was gorgeous and so were both ladies
+lindaponce Agreed!
Ryen your hair looks amazing naturally and with the braids, the hairstylist girl is very talented, I loved this video, thank you both and refinery29 too
+marconerodrigues Thanks for checking it out!
I LOVEEEE THIS!!!!!! I wish my hair could do this, because that is adorable!!!
I used to do this when I took down my box braids in middle school. I had no idea this was a real hairstyle.

oh this is a smart technique!
+TheUptownGrrl so smart and stunning!
Refinery29 i'm trying it this weekend! i'll tag you 💎
I remember back in high school I use to braid all the leave out in micros and sew in tracks in the middle am glad to see this technique coming back
I could NOT stop staring at the stylist! She’s gooorrggeeoouuss!!!
she’s so fucking chill, her energy seems relaxing
LOVE THIS!!! Ryen is perfect
+lyricmchenry Glad you loved it
I wish they would have kept it long.
SuperHellokitty1973 I agree. Seems like such a waste.
Or maybe just a few inches longer
I love it but, I will do my own and keep it longer. Thanks🌻
Me too I didn't like the cut.
SuperHellokitty1973 yep
Wow! that looks amazing! I have straight flimsy black asian hair lol but lately i've become more interested in black women's hairstyles, it's just sooooo different. I love how they embrace their natural hair and find more ways to style it without damaging it.
It looks so good...Nigella has mad braid skills
Oh my goodness!! How cute is that?!? Great style that looks so good on you.
My favorite thing is that you smile on the before and after not just after 💓✨
We love that you noticed that xoxo thanks for watching!!!
Hair aside they’re both beautiful and the stylist sheesh such flawless skin.
she looks so beautiful before and after!
Never seen this style before looks really good. Good imagination
Her hair is absolutely gorgeous! The hairstylist did a beautiful job!
Nigella is an amazing human!!! Also, your hair looks bomb!
She is so gorgeous ! That new hair looks so nice on her !
i’m getting extreme 90’s vibes and i’m here for it
Oh my good this looks STUNNING
+valeriasavage Thanks! We couldn't agree more!!
The model is so gorgeous with and without her natural hair
Ryen reminds me of Quinta from buzzfeed... She's beautiful!!!
I watched the jasmine brown episode and I loved it and I love this one too. There's something about the hairstylist's voice that's so relaxing!!
+theskillsharpener So glad you enjoyed!!
My favorite so far! Love love love! I want this chic to do my hair.
I’m white with the straightest hair you could get and I still absolutely love this series!
This is so YOU and the color is just gorgeous! I hope you enjoy it.
This was so refreshing to watch.. more content like this R29!
+shardayengel Thanks for checking it out!! :)
I want to try this style.
Omg her hair is goals ❤️❤️
+niamhmcilvar 100%
I love her hair before and after the braids. Beautiful!!! 😍
+angienew Thanks for watching!!
That looks real pretty. I would do that but with big braids. Gorgeous.
I love this so much! I was skeptical when they were talking about it but dang I’m feeling those 90’s vibes
I like this series. Thanks for staying woke refinery29
+seniennairam Thank YOU for watching!
Her smile is so magnetic
That hairstyle is beautiful and I truly missed the 90s I was a kid now 31 years old the hairstyles, overalls, and real music!!!
Love this and the Jasmine brown episode ❤️
She’s so pretty, in her hair she looks diverse in her personaility!,
Yesss!!! In the 90s we called them "micro-braids".
Oh this is Fiyah!! Where have I been, b/c I don't remember this from the 90's?!!
Yeah, it’s like micros but with a sew-in. Usually we’d keep it long. I don’t know about the cut, but the technique of doing micros without pulling your scalp or edges is genius.
Love the before and love the after
1. Is it me or the braided hair look bomb af by itself? The big braid in the middle gives a really badass look.
2. That color looks gorgeous on her! Loving how the blonde pops up with that hairstyle
Seriously, this vids give me life!
THAT COLOR LOOKS WONDERFUL ON YOU SISTER GIRL.
it looked fantastic before - very 90ies now, somehow! glad she enjoys it!
that style is tooo cute. amazin
OH WWOOWW!!SHE LOOKS SO CUTE!
With deep curly hair & some good slick edges just mightttt be a new style 😍
obsessed with this style. love!
This reminds me of when we use to get pinch plaits....when you didn't want to do the center of your head you added in track hair
I love it so much. Its fits her perfectly...
Utterly stunning! Wow, wow, wow!! 👍👍👍
I like her hair before. That’s the cut that I want. Braids are interesting too but the fro was cute.
I like this take on the braided bob
Oooooo i love her natural hair.. it looks so soft and fluffy.. 😆
Omg it looks sooooooo good and these girls are sooo sweet
woah. that style is beautiful! she 1000% rocks it 😍👏
I was like the heck.... Then she started braiding. Great job.
😀You came to Life Sis!❤️
You’re joy is contagious🌹
This hairstyle is beautiful! I want it so bad
OMG YASSS GIRLL!!! YOU SLAYYYY
Your bringing me back to high school. So many of my friends had this style.
+Baptized By Fire yassss #throwback!
Turned out better than the inspiration picture
I already love this hairstyle ! Beautiful! The B-O-B!
Looks amazing on her!!
that is so CUTE you seriously rock it
+Sarah Abrams isn't she just gorgeous? Thanks for tuning in xoxo
That looks sooooo good! I love it 😍
IT LOOKS SO DAMN GOOD
anyone know why the stylist didn't put any moisture on her hair before or while braiding?
Nikki The hairstylist placed some hair grease on the back of her hand; that's what she is using to moisturize the hair while braiding. It's an old school trick that my Momma used all the time when she styled my hair. I hope this helps!
Jamie Harris correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t that edge control? That’s what most new braiders use while doing hair, to keep it slick
Looks great!!! I want some!
Looks really nice!! just out of ignorance: what do you do when it starts growing? do you have to undo it and then do it all over again? or is there a faster method?
I love this. Might try it this summer. Ryen really favors Sanaa Lathan
Wow so beautiful! I’ve never seen this style before
Really cute and creative! 😍
+treppymystery Thanks for tuning in! :)
This is such a look. I love everything about this. She looks so soo good ❤️
Love watching these series of videos ❤️
I'm in love, this is so cute
I’m not into that hairstyle but tbh that hair really brings out her personality and the hairstyle is so pretty
She only braided the top bit of the sew in right? Asking cause I definitely want to get this at some point😃
Omfg y’all did THAT. it looks amazing
She looks awesome!!!
I want this hair style now!
I love this. So fun and the bob looks so good!!
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Looks so great!
Ryen"s hair gallery is phenomenal... Ryen truly has gone through textures colors lengths✨✨ i love💗 that. Her hair color compliments her tone as well complextion beautiful..
